Did anyone see the first at Harold Park tonight? Peter Robinson driving the leader hits the horse peeling of his back in the chest and it falls. I have never seen anything like it!

Stewards looking at it now......, :shock:

driver ok but looks like the horse aint to good. did anyone see Terry Brown stack it about 3 years ago at a gawler race? flew about 5m through the air. Was in hospital for about 2 weeks after the accident.
